In November, the Rankin County School District contacted the Sheriff's Department about possible misconduct by an employee at the Puckett Attendance Center, officials said.

Sheriff Bryan Bailey said the two investigators looked into allegations that the employee was having inappropriate associations with students. Based on interviews with witnesses and alleged victims, no evidence to support the allegations was found, Bailey said.

The Sheriff's Department forwarded the results of the investigation to the school district, Bailey said.

RCSD continued to conduct its own investigation, which continued through this past week, according to a news release.

"As a result of the civil investigation by the Rankin County School District as to school district policy violations and as to state law (civil) teacher duty violations, the school district accordingly terminated one of its employees last Thursday in its efforts to make sure that our high standards of professional conduct are maintained," the school district said in a statement.
